"alles Gallae in tres partum divisa est"

I remember it as "Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres."

My memory says Omnia Gallia in tres partes

How could you ever forget someone who taught you that the world was divided into two kinds of people: those who remember the immortal opening line of Caesar's Gallic War as "Omnia Gallia in tres partes divisa est," and those who remember it as "Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres"?

It seems that there are four types of people in the world: The ones who remember the three versions above and the fourth type who has no idea what the other three are babbling about. ;-)

For the record, the Loeb Classical Library edition version is "Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres".
